Baconnaise Crab Dip

We had this again this weekend - it's definitely becoming a frequently requested entertaining standard - and thought it was worth reposting the recipe with a couple of small improvements. The end result was described by one guest as "the perfect dip."

Baconnaise Crab Dip

11 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 cup Baconnaise

3 (6 ounce) cans crabmeat, drained and flaked

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 cup chopped Chives (optional)

Any flavor Bacon Salt to taste (we like Jalapeno Bacon Salt in this a lot)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix the cream cheese, onion,
Baconnaise, crab, garlic powder and Bacon Salt in a a mixing bowl.
Spread it into a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes. Serve hot with
French bread or water crackers.
